How to Defeat Baron Blade: Baron Blade is the prototypical video game villain where when you deal him enough damage, he takes a different form and players have to take another strategy to defeat him.

At first, Baron Blade wants you to discard his villain deck. This is when he’s most dangerous. If he gets 15 cards in his trash before he flips over, he wins. You have only two choices to stop this. 1) Use the Visionary’s cards “Suggestion” or “Brain Burn” to put cards from the villain trash into the villain deck, or 2) Deal enough damage in a hurry to get Baron Blade to transform to his second state.

Blade isn’t too difficult to wear down, so option number one isn’t a necessity, but don’t dilly dally with him.
